BOBBI BROWN Corrector

When I ran out of my beloved MUFE camouflage concealer I decided to try Bobbi Brown's corrector, which I have heard so much about. I use the color Light Peach: a soft, peachy shade that counteracts the blueness of my dark circles, and blends seamlessly. 

It lights up the under eye area without being too heavy. It can tend to look a little cakey and settle into fine lines , but I find that if I moisturize my under eye at night it's fine.  I use it with my Sephora Airbrush concealer brush, which is my favorite concealer brush.

Overall I quite like this. I'm not sure If I'll repurchase or not. It is nice, but it does use up relatively fast. 

What is your favorite concealer? What are you using right now?

Tom Ford's Shade and Illuminate

Tom Ford's Shade and Illuminate made quite an uproar when it first came out just around Christmas. But eventually, the hype died down. As always, I was late on the wagon as I like to research products before I actually buy them, and especially when they aren't cheap. 


The product has a gorgeous sleek, brown and gold, luxurious looking packaging that comes in a little brown suede pouch. I have to say I was surprised the first time I held it though as it is actually plastic and feels quite light.


This is yet another contour kit, I know bummer. But what makes this one special is that it's a cream. They aren't greasy feeling and blend into the skin well. 
The brown isn't too warm which is nice. As time passes it blends into the skin more and more, making it look more like an actual shadow. 
The highlighter is a wetter and thicker consistency. It is an white color that blends in to give light without shimmer particle. I find that it actually makes your cheekbone look almost wet.  An effect I, personally, am a fan of. 

I apply the contour shade with a MAC 130, a dense, short duo fiber brush. And I usually apply the highlight with my fingers. 


I really love this kit for when I'm going out (which is usually when I contour my face). It has a good staying power. Now, this an expensive little one. I don't think it is a necessity but I do enjoy it and find it lovely. It's a gorgeous item, the kind that just makes you smile when you look at it. And the whole cream contour kit isn't very common, YET at least which is refreshing.


Have you tried it? What do you use to contour your face?

Chanel Ombre Essentiel in Beige Lamé

I recently got Chanel's Ombre Essentiel in Beige Lamé. It was released with their Holiday 2011 collection. I don't know if this was limited edition or not, but if you see it I suggest you stop and look at it. 

When I first heard about it, I thought "Meh beige eyeshadow, what's the point? I already own a tone of skin tone types of color." I still decided to take a look at it though, and I'm so glad I did! 

First of all, the Ombre Essentiel is one I really like! It isn't overly pigmented which means it's very easy to work with. You can get something very nice and sophisticated very quickly. They have very minimal fall out. I like to apply them with the little sponge applicators they come with (something I rarely do), to get an opaque layer that maintains all the beautiful shimmer/glitter the eyeshadows have.

Beige Lamé is a very nice nude beige. What makes it so special is that it is full of multicolored glitter. Now, I know this might sound scary, but they are very fine glitter that just add a little oomph to an otherwise slightly bland color. 

(fail attempt at showing the shimmer)

Bottom line: I really love this! It makes a super easy, quick, yet not boring eye! I personally highly recommend getting it, or at least checking it out!

MAC So Sweet, So Easy

This blush is part of MAC's Cremeblend blushes. It is a cream blush formula that isn't too greasy . The shade So Sweet, So Easy is a light blue based pink ( the picture doesn't do it any justice). I really like these kind of color, as I find they complement my skin tone pretty well and tend to make my blue eyes pop. When I swatched this in the store I was really excited: it gives a beautiful flush of color that really blends into the skin, making it appear very natural. 

When I got this one home, I couldn't wait to use it! I am very sad to say that I am very disappointed! The color doesn't show up AT ALL on my cheeks! It shows up great on the back of my hand though . Maybe I already have to much pink in my skin (I have quite a warm complexion) . 


I think this will work great on lighter skin tones, and will use it for  when I do makeup on my lighter skinned friends. Other than that, the consistency is nice, not too greasy and glowing, but not quite powder finish either. It blends into the skin perfectly. 


Have you tried this blush? Any other MAC Cremeblend?

Quick Haul

 I went shopping a couple of weeks ago, and just thought I would share what I got. 
Reviews will be coming up once I gave the products a good test! 

Red TOMS, knight armor type of ring for $20 (I have gotten so many compliments on this ring, check it out ) and hunter green 100% silk blouse all from Urban Outfitters. I love the blouse with black skinnies to go out. It's comfy and casual chic all at once. 


I also got Estée Lauder Idealist Even Skintone Illuminator serum which I had been eyeing for a while, NARS' Outremer eyeshadow (this gorgeous blue had been calling my name for too long), and Tarte Amazonian Clay blush in Exposed. 
I'm really excited about everything, they are all things I had been wanting to try for a really long time.
